Montel Williams Plaugued by Fake Marijuana Companies

Montel Williams is suing a number of websites that he says used his likeness to sell scam medical-marijuana products. The sites are linked to an Arizona businessman, Timothy K. Isaac, who had previously pleaded guilty to a charge related to selling misbranded drugs. The ads were made to look like ABC News and Forbes contributor articles and used fake testimonials from celebrities. Customers who ordered a “free sample” of the product were locked into an automatic credit-card billing scheme they couldn’t cancel, according to the complaint.
